"In fact according to the Zen block diagram, each Zen core should be comparable to a dual core Excavator module in total throughput but significantly faster in single threaded performance."

Interesting. Can't wait to see some benchmarks versus Intel's CPUs. I don't expect the IPC to be the same, but hopefully the gap won't be so large like it is now (4.8 Ghz FX vs. 3.2 Ghz i5 having similar per-core performance and much higher energy/heating requirements.)
